VZ-24 Czech Mauser

I am looking for information on a VZ-24 Mauzer my dad brought home from the war. The rifle was aquired in the Phillipines after McArthur retook the island. My father's company came in afterward as the occupation forces and he and a friend snuck in a building under guard where a lot of captured enemy guns were stored and grabbed two VZ-24s and two 6.5mm Jap rifles. These were brought home after the war and I inherited them. I never understood how the Czech rifles ended up in the Phillipines! The serial number on one of these rifles is P8259. Maybe someone has an answer?
